Palin interview: She's never met a foreign head of state and thinks war with Russia may be necessary

This will be awesome. The more she opens her mouth, the more stupid she appears.

In her first television interview - she first tried to deny that she said, "U.S. Soldiers on a task that is from God." She was caught, and Gibson confronted her.

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, "Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God." Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don't know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

She admitted never having met a foreign head of statebut says that it may be necessary go to war with Russia over Georgia.

GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn't we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?

PALIN: Perhaps so.

Think about this. Our military has been decimated, severely stretched fighting a war in a country against an enemy that has no army, no air force, no navy, no diplomats, and we are expected to go to all out war with Russia over Georgia? Can you imagine this level of idiocy - from a person in a position to lead America? I guess it must be more of that "mission from god."

She also demonstrated was not familiar with the Bush Doctrine of preemptive attack, but she agreed with it when Gibson told her what it was.

Now you know why McCain has been shielding her from the media. I can't wait to see her debate and see her face question from the public and national media.

No comments:

What's a "loose canon"?
Differing from a "loose cannon" which means - an irresponsible or reckless person, a "loose canon" refers to a loose set of rules, in this case ... my rules. Unlike many conservative bloggers that stifle debate and delete comments, I don't!

Conservatism: clinical tendencies

A study funded by the US Government's National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as: a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity". (see report)----------A study by NYU and UCLA published in the Journal Nature Neuroscience showsliberals have a greater cognitive ability to problem solve and cope with changing conditions than conservativeswho are more "persistent and structured" and are more reliant on "habitual responses." From the study:

Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.
